Stop attacks on the Muslim community

Muslims in Britain are facing attacks on many fronts. These include:

  • The high-profile arrests under terror legislation of Muslims who are subsequently released without charge, creating a climate of fear and harassment;
  • An increase in violent attacks on Muslims in the streets and on Muslim places of worship;
  • The targetting of Muslims by the far-right British National Party;

Respect Party: Disrespecting Women

Pots, Prams and Politics. Flyer for RESPECT Youth event tomorrow.
Pots, Prams and Politics. Flyer for tomorrow’s RESPECT Youth event.

Respect Youth are holding a women only event in Bethnal Green tomorrow to support Abjol Miah’s bid to succeed George Galloway as Respect MP for Bethnal Green and Bow. Here is a flyer (pdf) for the event.

If their website is to be believed, Respect are committed to equal rights for women. They claim to want to see a world in which a woman’s contribution is fully valued and rewarded. Noble stuff, but not exactly borne out by the evidence of this flyer.

Entitled “Pots, Prams and Politics”, it is a fairly shocking example of sexism. Not only does the title make painfully clear what Respect considers a woman’s role to be (in the kitchen/looking after children/getting Respect re-elected) – there’s a not-so-progressive subtitle too.

Behind every man is a Woman and behind every leading woman is her Respect.
